Two new polymer systems, poly(3-phenylenevinylene)thiophene (P3PVT) and poly(3-phenyl)thiophene (P3PT), were designed with the aim of obtaining a helical conjugated polymer via a living polymerization. The polymerization proceeded without transfer and termination reactions via the Kumada catalyst transfer condensative polymerization (KCTCP) mechanism, confirming the living nature of the polymerization. Solvatochroism and circular dichroism (CD) experiments showed the helical nature of P3PVT and the stacking behavior of P3PT in poor solvent conditions. Block copolymers of 3-alkyl-substituted polythiophenes and helical P3PVT were prepared to determine the aggregation behavior of such systems. Solvatochroism, CD, and AFM measurements showed that the blocks influence each other’s behavior. If the P3AT block stacks before the helical P3PVT block organizes, one-handed helix formation is hindered. If helix formation occurs first, the stacking behavior is not influenced.
